An Indie Magazine For Fans, By Fans.
Covering the intersections of music, culture, and ideas, from underground scenes and emerging artists to the movements shaping how people create and connect today.
Cult Machine is a love letter to fandom and creativity, written by the people who actually care.
FOUNDER
I started working in music at a young age, building online communities and learning how people connect with music online. Over time, I worked with independent artists, management teams, and a label, always focused on helping artists grow in a real and organic way. I love blending tech with music, and I'm a huge music nerd, especially when it comes to alternative and underground genres. I Love The Strokes!!!
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
I'm a business marketing student, and I've been working in media and design since I was 14, starting out at local radio stations and publications. My music taste runs wide, from Brockhampton and Seventeen to The Strokes and Oasis. I love curating and discovering new music and I enjoy building creative projects that reflect all my interests. All my projects and interviews share one goal, to create a fun and comfortable space where both the artist and fans feel connected :).
EDITORIAL CREATOR
I am a lover of all genres of music; my taste ranges from Talking Heads to Geese to Sublime to Charles Mingus to Everclear, and so many more! I am a psychology and sociology double major with a digital media studies minor, and building a career in creative direction. I have worked with small artists, record labels, radio stations, and more in the music industry to help their creative ideas come to life. I want to bring back authenticity and art for arts sake into the music industry, emphasizing the importance of identity, community, and music in our lives, as well as in our world.
EDITORIAL CREATOR
I love going to concerts and listening to my fav albums in repeat. I'm a huge fan girl, so I could talk hours about The Voidz, Wallows or Daft Punk for exemple. Right now, I'm currently studying a bachelor called cultural and creative industries in Paris, and i am willing to work in the live music industry. For now, I have created my own association where I organise music events and I'm also willing to progress in the concert photography field, where I am starting to learn and capture photos as an amateur in this discipline.
EDITORIAL WRITER
hiii! I'm a copywriter whose love for music started at 7yrs old, when my mom gifted me her Audioslave CD. Ever since, I've seen music as a way to connect with the deepest parts of myself, and with anyone else who gets why it matters so much. Toss in 10,000+ hours of unsupervised internet access during my formative years, and you get someone who just wants to post things that bring people joy. (Also, GnR's Chinese Democracy is a certified banger, don't @ me.)
The photographers and creatives behind our concert coverage
We'd love to hear from you, seriously.
Got music we should listen to? A story we should cover? Want to send a love letter, hate mail, or something in between? Maybe you just want to tell us we misspelled your favorite artist's name (it happens).
